I have used TotalThunderbirdConverter to successfully turn ten years' worth of
T-Bird's unwieldy giant mail file into a series of text files in folders. Whew,
your program saved my mail collection.
Overall, this utility works well. The interface is pretty enigmatic, however.
For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what the command, "Open Mailbox ..."
is meant to accomplish -- nothing, in my case.
I'm a software guy -- game developer -- and I do some programming, so I'm not exactly naive, but I *loathe* command-line interfaces. I suggest you look through all those cryptic switches and get them into menus for those of us who want all the utility's functions without studying for a college exam. Basically, a great program ... needs refinement."

Thunderbird users who need to convert emails with attachments to PDF, DOC, and TIFF
Back up emails and attachments to readable formats
Thunderbird users convert their entire mailbox to PDF, DOC, or HTML so emails remain readable without the Thunderbird client. The Pro version converts attachments alongside each message, creating self-contained archives that any browser or text reader can open — no email client required.
Export Thunderbird emails as court-ready PDF documents
Law firms convert Thunderbird emails and MBOX archives to encrypted PDF files with digital signatures for court submission. Attachments in Word, Excel, and other formats are converted automatically alongside the email body, producing complete evidence packages in batch.
Convert employee correspondence for compliance archives
Compliance teams export Thunderbird mailboxes from departing employees or monitored accounts into standardized PDF or TIFF archives. Every email and its attachments are converted together, creating tamper-proof records that satisfy regulatory retention requirements.
Save client emails as organized PDF or Word files
Small businesses using Thunderbird convert client email threads with contracts, invoices, and signed documents into PDF or DOC files for project folders. Customize fonts, styles, and colors of the output, and process thousands of emails in one batch operation.
Convert MBOX files when switching email platforms
IT departments migrating from Thunderbird to another platform convert MBOX archives to universally readable formats before decommissioning the old system. Batch-process entire mail stores with attachments, ensuring no data is lost during the transition to a new email client or cloud service.
